One interesting indicator of just how well grounded Mister Beck is came during a recent show in response to a Professional Rodeo Clown protesting Glenn's use of the title for himself in a deprecating manner (the Professional Clown sent footage proving that being a Rodeo Clown is dangerous work meant to assist and protect rodeo bull and bronc riders; Glenn often starts monologues with "I'm just a rodeo clown, so what do I know"). Glenn closed that segment that evening with something to the effect that it's tough finding out that you're lower in the feeding chain than you originally though, meaning the Professional had proven Glenn calling himself merely a rodeo clown wasn't deprecating enough.
Thing is, Glenn Beck fits the upgraded definition of Rodeo Clown when one considers the service this professional does for his country, educating us to the danger in advance of the coming outrages. And he does it with such a flare/fusion of entertainment and enlightenment!
